Top 23 JavaScript Gamedev Projects

Phaser
Phaser is a fun, free and fast 2D game framework for making HTML5 games for desktop and mobile web browsers, supporting Canvas and WebGL rendering.
Project mention: Looking for unfiltered feedback on my browser-based platform fighter trailer | reddit.com/r/DestroyMyGame | 2023-03-15Hmm I don't know about tutorials, but I would recommend staying away from the DOM for any game that's real time (so, no React). Instead use a WebGL rendering library like pixi.js. You could also try out a framework/engine like Phaser, which uses pixi under the hood but provides more structure for your project if you're into that.

Project mention: Is it worth learning Three.js in 2023 ? | reddit.com/r/learnjavascript | 2023-03-03
Right now I believe it's still very niche, but with time it will continue to grow and grow. There are a lot of emerging technologies built on three.js that are barely just starting to get off the ground. It's really the core of most Web XR technologies and will still be here when you are ready if you feel node.js is a safer bet right now. If you don't feel confident math wise for it just yet, you can also look into the frameworks built on top of it like A-Frame https://aframe.io to create 3D XR sites and build your knowledge of three.js more slowly over time with a lower bar of entry.

Project mention: 8 Ball Pool - An online multiplayer billiards game against players or bots | reddit.com/r/WebGames | 2023-02-14
Not sure if I'd do it again, but I used p2.js. I wanted to use a reliable physics engine that was determenistic to ensure I could synchronise it for multiplayer purposes (otherwise, two different clients see two different things). I had to adjust the settings quite a bit to make it work, and it has its limitations, but it came out pretty decent in the end I would say!

The Pandocs are easy to read and contain pretty much everything you need to know to get a basic GB emulator up-and-running. The section on the Power-Up Sequence would answer this question for you and then some. You would've gotten the answer to your question yesterday if you looked at the Memory Map section, which tells you where ROM is mapped, and then some.

MERN-template
A website template using the MERN stack. It is geared towards Persistent Browser Based Games (think neopets), but is flexible enough for a number of different uses.
Project mention: So I wrote an auth server - are people using it??? | reddit.com/r/AskProgramming | 2022-12-31Backstory: Decade Jam, a game jam that lasts for a decade, began Jan 1st, 2020. I started writing a web game called Egg Trainer, but after a year of work realized that my codebase wasn't workable anymore. So at the beginning of 2021, I began working on a game engine that would power the beta version of ET - this is called the MERN-template (clearly, I'm bad at naming things).
